Reports from Geisei Observatory <September 26, 2005>


C/2005 A1-a,b (LINEAR), P/2005 R1 (NEAT), and P/2005 R2 (Van Ness)

    The following are the results of recent evening observations:
    Although it was clear, the sky conditions were not quite favorable with hazy glow throughout the sky. Comets at the telescope's limiting magnitude were difficult to observe. As soon as the moon wanes and becomes less bright, I will extend my observation to morning hours.
